I made these beads today. I took strips of my hand-dyed fabric, coated one side with Aileen's glue, then wrapped them around small segments of plastic drinking straw. Then I wrapped them with 28-guage colored copper wire strung with seed beads. After that, I painted them with a bit of Lumiere for some extra sparkle.
